Glossary
Centre mode
A setting used by the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround mode to determine the kind of
signal processing required to produce the
surround effect with the speakers you have
connected. The centre mode is determined
automatically according to the setting of the
speaker size parameters in the SP. SETUP
menu.
This processor’s Dolby Digital (AC-3)
circuitry provides a more versatile range of
speaker settings than the standard Dolby Pro
Logic centre mode setting. For you reference,
the following chart shows the relationship
between the Dolby Digital (AC-3) speaker
size parameters and the Dolby Pro Logic
centre mode.
FS = Front speaker size
CS = Centre speaker size
RS = Rear speaker size
C.Mode = Dolby Pro Logic centre mode

Dolby Digital (AC-3)
This is a new digital surround system
proposed to reproduce Dolby SR-D (the 3
dimensional sound system developed for use
in movie theatres) in the home. This
technology allows you to enjoy the full 5.1 ch
soundtrack intended by the filmmaker, in the
comfort of your own home.
MPEG AUDIO
International standard coding system to
compress audio digital signals authorized by
ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms up to 2-channel
stereo. MPEG 2 used on DVDs conforms up
to 7.1-channel surround. It realize the
backward compatibility – you can play the
MPEG 2 sound track with the player
conforms to MPEG 1.
Digital Cinema Sound
The application of Sony digital signal
processing technology to shift sound away
from the actual speaker position and simulate
the sound direction information produced by
several speakers positioned in places around
or behind the listening position.
The number and angle of the simulated
(virtual) speakers were developed to simulate
the sound of the actual speaker arrangement
in the editing rooms of Sony Pictures
Entertainment, Hollywood.
These sound modes allow you to enjoy a
truthful reproduction of the sound
environment intended by the filmmaker, in
the comfort of your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Decoding system of Dolby Surround sound
standardized in TV programmes and movies.
Compared with the former Dolby Surround
system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves
sound image by using four separate channels:
off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog,
left-to-right panning, and music. These
channels manipulate the sound to be heard
and enhance the action as it happens on the
screen. To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic,
you should have at least one pair of rear
speakers and/or one centre speaker.
You also need to select the appropriate centre
mode to enjoy a full effect.
Dolby Surround
Encoding and decoding system of Dolby
Surround sound for consumer use. Dolby
Surround decodes the extra channels on the
Dolby Surround-encoded sound tracks of
movie videos and TV programmes and
produces sound effects and echoes that make
the action seem to envelop you.
Surround sound
Sound that consists of three elements: direct
sound, early reflected sound (early
reflections) and reverberative sound
(reverberation). The acoustics where you hear
the sound affect the way these three sound
elements are heard. These sound elements are
combined in such a way that you can actually
feel the size and the type of a concert hall.
